For the first time in 40 years, the Oral History Society (UK) addressed corporate history in its annual conference. Our Founder and CEO Bruce Weindruch, a recognized pioneer in corporate history, was the opening keynote speaker.

The conference focused on the relationship between oral history and business, and why institutions and businesses
want to record and use their histories.
